Pros

Nothing good, nothing positive, salary is always on time.

Cons

Senior Management runs like it’s their mom and pop shop. Lots of bullying, shouting, abusive behaviour by senior manager. Micro managing, cannot make any operational decisions (even if it’s within the purview of the job role) without senior managers intervening and wanting to take credit for all successes, failures would be blamed on team members. Every single process up to the point where ppt slides and emails are being vetted before being sent out to stake holders. Will throw team members under the bus to show how great the senior manager is. Will shout to managers/sups during team meetings. Thinks he knows it all. Favouritism for Appraisals and Salary increment. Bias towards foreigners. Forced to read email after working hours, whilst on leave and on MC else will get hell and threatened to be fired. Lots of threats when applying for Annual Leave. Would not accept criticism and a lot of hot air coming out. Director is spineless and has not made any positive changes to improve situation even after knowing all the abusive language and shouting of senior team member. His way or the Highway else is considered not a team player.

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
